Jack Eichenbaum in Memoriam
February 2, 1943 – December 30, 2023
Dear All,
It is with profound sadness I write to inform you of the passing of our dearly beloved Jack Eichenbaum, my uncle.
He passed away peacefully on December 30, 2023, after suffering from a stroke two days earlier. It brings me comfort knowing he got to enjoy one last travel excursion on a cruise to the Caribbean earlier that month.
Please join me as we gather as a family at the historic Roosevelt House on the evening of March 8th as a community to celebrate and honor Jack’s life as a friend, colleague, mentor, geographer, teacher, tour guide, civic activist, scrabble expert, the Official Queens Historian, and a true visionary who played an instrumental role in shaping the lives he encountered on the journey of life. We truly appreciate your support and love during this difficult time. Special thanks to Hunter College and GISMO for helping us with putting together the memorial.
